The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)
announced that it will launch its online IEC Smart Grid Standard
Mapping Solution. This multidimensional interactive tool will
create a map of the smart grid and enable smart grid managers
around the world to quickly identify IEC international smart grid
standards, position them in relation to their role in the smart
grid, and point out possible interactions and overlaps. The
announcement was made at the GridWeek conference, during a panel
discussion on Global Markets and Global Standards for the smart
grid.
The mapping solution will launch by the end of 2010 or early
2011, and has already been recognized by major smart grid standard
players (United States’ National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST), CEN CENELEC, and others).
